Sunday's Summaries

Just a little update on my life for the past few months. 

Click here.

last two (2) weeks via instagram.

01. Pepper trying to distract me from homework, by enticing me to play. 02. Work station fully stocked with sweet tea and snacks. I have seen this spot of the apt. a great deal lately. There was a homework pile almost reaching the ceiling, but I have got it to a much more manageable height now.

We celebrated friendsgiving the Thursday before Thanksgiving; it was a big hit; lots of yummy food, fun people, and brilliant times. 01. JP made some scratch mac & cheese (can you spy the secret ingredient?).  02. I tried my hand at baking, and made miniature pineapple upside down cakes.

01. Theses sweet little miniature Dunkin Doughnut items made my Monday night. Does anyone else thing they would be even cuter as key rings?  02. Festive nail polish. True story, this color, Get in the Espresso lane by OPI, is meant to be a very chocolate-ly  brown. For some reason, it decided to be a very muddy black on my finger nails.

01. Thanksgiving day outfit 2011. I was on the schedule to work Thanksgiving day, but since my unit was close I got the holiday off. J I love Thanksgiving because I can wear a simple outfit with jeans, and not feel underdressed or outta place.  02. While driving, in the car, to JP’s family function I came across this little beauty. What is even better, I saw a hawk take off from in front of the shed. It was quite magical.

01. Walmart’s Black Friday lines at 12:30 AM. This is when we decided to go back to bed till 6:00am.  02. Pepper with a belly full of turkey. She is telling me how thankful she is to have a lap to nap in.

Sunday Summaries

This was a fun filled week! A mini get-away was just what I needed to breathe some life back into my lazy tail. I feel so motivated, and ready to finish so many half started projects.

Monday the girl & I both seemed to be feeling rather puny. We did a lot of lounging on the couch while reading Green Eggs and Ham or watching Max and Ruby. Later in class I found myself literally falling asleep (I was like centimeters from crashing into the ground). I have not slept in class since freshman year of high school. I am chalking that weirdness up to whatever 24 hour sleepy bug I caught.

Tuesday My ladies and I went back to that Thai Bistro place, but it was not as yummy as I remembered; next time, I will have to order something different. Since both my ladies had to work, I ventured off on a solo shopping excursion. My plan was to find a pair of Jeans for Thursday’s appointment, but I didn’t have any luck. I have come to the conclusion that my body was just not made for jeans; my waist to hip ratio just doesn’t allow for it.

Wednesday started off a bit chaotic. Because of our work schedules JP and I had to drive as far as Jackson in separate cars, and then we joined forces for the remaining 2 hour journey to Clarksville. We ended up getting a REALLY crappy hotel room at a Super 8. While JP was partaking in bike night festivities I was doing what I do best, shop. The Clarksville TJ Maxx is one on my very favorites. They always have interesting jewelry, purses, and things for your home (pictured below are the two items that I purchased). After reading a tiny bit for class I met up with JP @ one of his buddy’s house and chilled there for a while.

Thursday could not have gone more smoothly. We found the perfect parking spot, free and a block away from the building. The tattoos turned out stunning. I was lucky enough to get a nice photo on the one on my arm; so, I will shared that below. After spending close to six hours in the chair I was starving. We found ourselves picking this little pizza place located in Edge Hill. It was mediocre. I’m not a huge pizza lover, but this dough was a burnt and wet.

Friday I was supposed to attend traffic court that night, or was I? In reality, the court I was “supposed” to attend was actually scheduled for nine o’clock that morning. By the time I realized this I was two hours late. To lift my mood, Jp & I went to see Drive; which was an exceptionally wonderful movie. Granted, there are a few “awkward” silent parts, but in real life I feel that those parts would have also been awkward silences. It would seem that I was just a couch potato that day, the only other thing worth mention is Supernatural’s season premiere. I could ramble on about this show for months, but all that needs to be said about this episode is watch it!

UPCOMING

I will attempt to make my own pumpkin spice lattes; and folks, I DO advise for you to try this in your own homes. I have about 4 DIY projects that have been left hanging around in purgatory, and some reading to catch up on. I am hoping for this week to be pretty chill.

Sunday Summaries

Regrettably, I do not have too many pictures of all the fun things that happened this week. Most of the time my phone was either foolishly left at the apt or hiding somewhere in the car. Regardless, I truly had a first-rate week!

Monday was a good day! The girlie and I spent the day cuddled up watching movies and reading books. After my nanny gig on Mondays I have class, but it was let out early; taking this as a sign from the shopping gods, I headed to the mall. My first stop was the MAC counter at Macy’s but they were sold out of everything that I looked appealing. I then went to the juniors section, and stumbled across the Material Girl line. This line is really cute and trendy, but it tends to run a size small in the bottoms. I ended up spending a few dollars at Forever21 (post on this later). I was in a bit of a hurry because there was goings on happen at the apt. I ended the night falling asleep during the start of Breaking Bad.

Tuesday I escorted my BFF to the court house to pay some fines; yes, an escort is needed whenever you have to go to 201 Popular. We then ventured a little further downtown to eat lunch at Huey’s, but those plans were nixed when we came across this little Thai Bistro place. When I got back to the apt JP was making black bean burgers and sweet potato fries for supper. Went to class; which was let out early and canceled for this upcoming Tuesday.

Wednesday is a total blank.

 Thursday was my mommy’s birthday! There was quick trip to Bath and Body Works for a few fall scented candles, and then we headed 5 mins down the road to my mommy’s house for a celebration! This time was mainly spent in the backyard with the dogs. Afterwards, JP and I went to lunch at Chili’s, checked out the homey sections at TJ Maxx and Target, and headed back to my mom’s for a quick Birthday bite of cake, The rest of the night was spent cuddled up on the couch.

Friday I got all made up for a movie day with my mister; we went to see Contagion, which I thought was a pretty good movie. It was not a thrilling or suspenseful as the trailer would have you think. We had dinner plans that were about an hour away that night. So, much of our time home was spent packing, cleaning up, and getting the animals situated.

 

So, typing this, my week does not sound very eventful, but for the past two week I have been sleeping in until at least 10 and going to bed mega early, like before 12. So, when you add homework, extra house work, crafting time, and squeezing in some JP, Pepper, and Jasper time to the equation it makes for quite a busy day.

UPCOMING:

Goal this week is to start waking up earlier, and checking off everything on my list for the day.

Week is going to be filled with fun girl day dates, mister and miss road trips, tattoos, bike night, shopping trips, and maybe a movie.  

Sunday Summaries

This week was the beginning of the fall semester. I had snapped a few outfits, but cannot seem to find them. I didn’t have a particularly busy or eventful week. These pictures pretty much summarize it. 

  

We also ate at this really yummy Thai place down the street form my apt, but I didn’t get any shots. The place is called Bhan Thai, and if you are ever in the midtown area of Memphis I recommend going there.

Next week:

I work Labor day, but afterwards I am hoping to go see Fright Night; this was one of my favorite movies when I was younger. The Fair is in town! I hope to being visiting it at least once. I plan on rearranging/redecoration my living room this week; be on the look out for a few small DIY projects.

Sunday Summaries

Ugh, this week has sucked, sucked, SUCKED! I'd prefer not to recap, but I will anyways.

Tuesday JP and I finally came home! We did nothing all day but clean the apt and play with Press. I would have spent more time with her had I known that these would be the last hours we had together :(

Wednesday I had a Dentist appointment at nine in the morning, but luckily, I had a surprise waiting for me when I got home.  My July Brichbox! I was MUCH happier with this month's box.

Later that day (after giving Press her fateful meds), JP and I met up with some friends from Jackson to see The Tree of Life. I liked it, it was nothing like I expected but still visually a beautiful movie. Afterward, we went to my mommy's to grill out. 

UGH Thursday, the worst day! We rushed Press to the emergency vet in the wee hours of Thursday morning, and had to leave her there :( It's been almost a week and I still cry every night. 

Friday-Sunday were work days. So, there's not much to tell.
